虽然将太阳能用于空调是非常可取的，因为它可以节约不可再生能源，并更有效地利用太阳能收集器，但在吸收式制冷机上应用太阳能时，必须考虑到一些独特的问题。除了实际问题，如需要储存以照顾夜间和阴天以及吸收式制冷设备的成本等，还有一些技术问题源于低温热的利用。具体来说，我们将处理热源温度、散热器温度和性能系数（COP）之间的关系。 引文:德克萨斯州达拉斯ASHRAE交易会第82卷第1部分研讨会

Although using solar energy for air conditioning is highly desirable in that it conserves non-renewable energy sources and utilizes the solar energy collector more effectively, there are problems unique to the application of solar energy to the absorption refrigeration machine that must be considered. In addition to practical problems such as the need for storage to take care of nights and cloudy days and the cost of absorption refrigerating equipment, etc., there are some technical problems stemming from the utilization of lowt-emperature heat.Specifically, we will be dealing with the relationship between the heat source temperature, the heat sink temperature and the coefficient of performance (COP).
